Canon helped kill the point and shoot when they killed the viewfinder . It was one of the important things  that differentiated phone photography from camera photography -and still is. I still prefer a small camera with a viewfinder of some type over what these days is essentially a tablet with a camera forcing one to take pictures with arms waving wildly in front of your face. The last thing I want in my camera is a phone. Yes there are a very small number of newer powershots  with viewfinders that are (IMO) overpriced so I went the ilc route basically for the viewfinder and lens choice reasons.  I will probably not buy a Power Shot in the future (if there is a Power Shot future) and it's not because of phones.  I don't own a phone(tablet) and can't see it ever happening. Just my $.02 on the subject.
